How can you add data to a listview located on another form?

anyone know?

Create a subroutine in a module like this:

Public Module Module1


Public Sub Add_Item(ByRef lvOne As ListView, ByVal sString As String)
lvOne.Items.Add(sString.Trim)
End Sub

End Module

In the first form, call this method:

Call Module1.Add_Item(objForm.lvTwo, "SomeString")


Basically you have the second form declared and instantiated and pass the ListView by reference along with a string you wish to populate inside.

I hope this helps.;)

how can you declare an instantiate it :)?

how can you declare an instantiate it ? :)

You can also use a delegate.

how? sorry im very new at vb.net :(

Forget what I said about using a delegate. This seems really simple. Where is the data coming from? If you want to add data to a listview, just open the form and add your data.

data is in form2, listview is in form1...

As I said before, place this in a module:

Public Module Module1


Public Sub Add_Item(ByRef lvOne As ListView, ByVal sString As String)
lvOne.Items.Add(sString.Trim)
End Sub

End Module

Now enter this code in Form2 (Maybe on a button click event or something:)

Call Module1.Add_Item(Form1.ListView1, "Somestring")

This should populate the listview on the first form.

Work with that.

in Form1 do this....

VB Code:

[color=blue]Private Sub[/color] Button1_Click([color=blue]ByVal[/color] sender [color=blue]As[/color] System.Object, [color=blue]ByVal[/color] e [color=blue]As[/color] System.EventArgs) [color=blue]Handles[/color] Button1.Click
    [color=blue]Dim[/color] frm2 [color=blue]As New[/color] Form2()
    [color=blue]MyBase[/color].AddOwnedForm(frm2) '/// make form2 owned by form1.
    frm2.Show()
[color=blue]End Sub[/color]

in Form2....

VB Code:

[color=blue]Private Sub[/color] Button1_Click([color=blue]ByVal[/color] sender [color=blue]As[/color] System.Object, [color=blue]ByVal[/color] e [color=blue]As[/color] System.EventArgs) [color=blue]Handles[/color] Button1.Click
    [color=blue]Dim[/color] frmMain [color=blue]As[/color] Form1 = [color=blue]MyBase[/color].Owner
    frmMain.ListView1.Items.Add("some stuff from form2!")
[color=blue]End Sub[/color]

i've included a little demo to help it look easier...
